For over 15 years, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been one of the most consistent goalscorers in the world, turning out for most of the major clubs in Europe including Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona, AC Milan, PSG and Manchester United.

He is also one of the most decorated players in history, having won almost everything winnable in the game of football (although rather shockingly, he has not lifted the Champions League).

One of Ibrahimovic's most dominant qualities has been his incredible self-belief, with many casting him off as arrogant. However, the big Swede does not just talk the talk, he also walks the walk.

He has made a habit of not only scoring goals but also scoring great goals and having conquered the European continent, Ibra is currently in the United States where he continues to deliver the goods.

Unsurprisingly, Ibrahimovic is Sweden's record goalscorer with 62 goals from 116 appearances, which added to his 443 club goals, gives him a total count of 505 goals from 873 matches.
